I've been seeing a lot of discussion about how fast Go is. According to the Benchmark Game Go is much faster than Node, somewhat faster than Java, and runs laps around Python and Ruby. Despite the performance level, Go still has a relatively nice developer experience. Semicolons are implicit, some typing is inferred, and the non-object oriented nature makes it more flexible. That's not even mentioning the built-in concurrency! I decided that I wanted to build something in Go to see if it would be a viable programming language for my apps in the future.
